The preferred erably the bearing of thespring against the form of construction is to make both of a `sinaw Bshould be iixed against accidental disy9 5 gle plate bent into shape,leaving a connectplacement.

2. A'wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate members and twopivots, a complementary jaw journaled upon one of bers at the back andengaging both jaws to close them.

5. A wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate membersconnected at their back and having two pivots, a jaw jouiiialed betweensaid plates upon one of said pivots and provided with a toothed segmenton its inner end, the outer end oi' said jaw being adapted when closedto swing between the two plates constituting the other jaw, a handlejournaled between said plates on the other pivot and having a toothedsegment meshing with the toothed segment of the other jaw, and a springlying between said plates at the back and engaging both-jaws to closethem.

6. A wrench comprising a jaw having two separated plate membersconnected by a web at their back edges, a iiller-block secured betweensaid plates at their outer portions and forming a spring-retainingsocket along the connecting-web, a jaw pivoted between said platemembers, and engaging said last-ineiitioiied jaw, and a handle-leverpivoted between the rear portions of said plate members, saidliaiidle-lever and the pivoted jaw being connected to swing together.
